The Plan worked,Newc & Paddok

[Drake S.]

I would like to thank the following partners in Crime Paddok for bringing the goods & Newc for getting the deal started. & a big FUCK OFF to the UPS monkeys for screwing with the deal. Plant foot on face YANK tail off 1 UPS delivery guy!
Here it is in a nut shell Paddok WTS his 90 Pro White Warrior I want to buy it Newc needs a Black 90 Pro Warrior I sell him mine. I buy Paddoks White Warrior Pro. The UPS monkeys (please see disclaimer above if inquireing about UPS employment) break headstock of of Black Warrior Pro . Matt Dr.Newcenstien Fixes Warrior Pro.
A UPS monkey lives to fall out of a tree another Day. Paddok now shipping me the White Warrior. Keeping fingers crossed that the MONKEYS don't strike twice in the same deal. Ofcourse some things are just talking monkey buisness, & some of us have learned not to drag our knuckles anymore. thanks for the Rant & the Rave.
You guys both Rock. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Hey Eleven it was in a hard case boxed with packing peanuts so the UPS monkeys drop it off some loading dock, or something.

Re: The Plan worked,Newc & Paddok

Because somewhere an executive decided that x number of packages should be processed in y amount of time, so they say not to take the time to handle anything responsibly (i.e. with care).

You know, UPS/F'ed Ex could very well be the reason for the next innovation in guitar case design; the only way I've found to beat their abusive practices when shipping guitars in their cases is to pad the hell out of the case on the inside, but that also has a risk in that you can pack it TOO well, and the only place for any shock absorption is the wood (as happened to one that Doc sent (Washburn head snapped in two).
So far, the newer SKB Jackson cases are doing the best job, as they have such a tight fit, but there's always room for improvement in case design. I'm wondering if SKB will incorporate their shock rack design into their case designs (or if it's possible).
As for the black Warrior Pro - it snapped right where the allen wrench tools bend (in the holder on the head), so I'm thinking it got hit right there.
But as I said before - no biggie to me, I fixed it, it's holding (still) and I've got a "Plan B" to fix it if it ever comes loose again [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks Drake and Paddok on a Tag-Team Effort [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: The Plan worked,Newc & Paddok

No, because in order to pay out, they get the guitar - or it's sent back to the shipper (Drake) - and that won't work because it's the only black Pro with black binding [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

If everything fails, there's always a Speedloader [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
